Ongoing Fake UBA Bank Senegal Visa ATM Card Scams

There have been a number of people who contacted me inquiring about the Ongoing Fake UBA Bank Senegal VISA ATM card where it’s reported that scammers are going on asking people money in terms of USD eg $300 to be sent to them through Western Union in return for mailing the above mentioned client ATM cards. Yes, very many have left comments on this site while others have used the contact us page about the same.

As a response to all out there especially my readers, I am taking this opportunity to let you know that these kind of requests to me looks like scam. Yes, a number of similar posts have been published in scam and fraud alert sites on the internet all mentioning about the same, and which proves to that indeed, such is a scam. I am a UBA bank customer and have never been asked to pay a single fee for mailing my Renewed cards. All I know is I walk into the bank, I am worked on and I move way with my card just like you can see in this other how to get an Instant VISA Debit Prepaid Card post.

Why this looks scam?

From experience, I looked at a number of factors in this message above and confirmed that indeed, this is not real and or legit. Yes, scammers and fraudsters have their own ways in which they do things, and which is involved in the same messages as quoted above. See some highlights below…

A genuine message from the bank will never ask you to send money through Western Union. Yes, at least I know this. Additionally, you will never be asked to expose the Western Union money credentials to in an electronic form. The money is sent to a person other than the bank and which is not what happens for legal bank requests. And so forth… When you check on sites like scamwarners.com, antifraudintl.org, scamsurvivors.com, and many others, you will get to know what I am meaning. So please, don’t be tricked to fall victims. Over to you.

I met Esther Jafer, lady, on Facebook. We became friends and started communicating through emails as her account on Facebook dispeared. She was asking for help of which I was ready to lend her. She became quite at least for a month when she finally sent me an email saying she now moved to London from Senegal. claimed she instructed the UBA bank senegal to issue me a prepaid ATM visa card worth US$120,000 and gave me a link to what she called ATM Department for the processing of the ATM. I am now being asked to sent money ($245) to the claiming department manager – Dr Morris Williams for shipment of the card. But am suspicious so I have not payed yet. Could this be real??

It may be a fraud, because I had a friend on Facebook by name Fahima Feruzi. She asked me to aid her in transferring money from her late father’s account to my account because she is at a refergee camp in Senegal and can’t do that transaction. She then told me to contact the bank with an email she gave me with all my details. Finally the bank ask me send an amount of money to start the process of which I refuse. She stopped mailing me for about three months. She recently sent me an email with different name(Fahima Robert) that she has successfully transferred the money and she has moved from Senegal to London. She then told me that she has issued an ATM card with a registration number having an amount of $250,000.00 as a token for my effort, despite I could not help her transferring the money. She told me to contact the ATM Visa card head office at Dakar Senegal through their email of which I did exactly. The bank asked me to send my details :first name, second name, last name, country, state, city, home address, occupation, marriage status and my ID card number. But am not gonna send it to them because it could be a scam.

Some body send me email his name is Thomson Sherif he told me that I have ATM card in your bank lefted by my friend and ask me to send him 670$ for dhl .
Is this true or just someone want to play dairty game with me
Plz reply my email

I have a UBA Africard Visa in my hand. Some one person send to me this told to me in this preloded money in this, but with card didn’t send any Pin No. Still. They will demand money from me to send this pin no. And told to me this charges regarding for Clearance of Approval letter charges, Ministry of Finance dept. Senegal, Stamp Duties, all this type of charges will occurring by UBA bank and they And really send this pin no. of this Africard. above charges demand by UBA bank.. in back portion of this card email id is mention [email protected]. I don’t know knowledge of this so kindly request you to suggest me for future fradunt.

I would say that i am the newest of their ‘clients’ and up to now, they have requested my personal details. But before i give them, i just thought maybe i should look up these people and find out who they are, and now i am typing this message..

Thanks to everyone here for your comments on your experiences, they really help. Looks like these scammers take advantage of the fact that people need money, i mean who doesn’t dream of their bank account exploding with loads of $money$. So right now, i am thinking of just playing along and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

The ‘temptation’ is somewhat, irresistible. I will post again when we get to the part of wanting ‘money to cover charges’,. charges my foot

I felt the same way, thought maybe a thousand or more would be the last money they wanted from me, so they could send me the thousands they said I was going to get. $16,000 later! I still didn’t get a dollar from them. So I stopped responding to them and knew they were robbing me got as much money as they could get. I got screwed and robbed and can’t do anything legally because Canada has no control over anything in Africa/Senegal. I learned my lesson the hard way and am a sucker for thieves like this.

It’s Also happens with me, and they rascals looted me 300 $ now they want more for the bank , now fresh mail of today, look I copied from there

Hellow every one..atleast I have learnt it from here earlier.they sent me a mail and even a staff card.the names are true but the photo on the staff card is not rhyming with the one in the google..this is a bunch of stupid people who should be held culprits..

I got influenced by a Reverend calling me first telling me this girl named Grace left me $186,000 usd and because I had been there years earlier and met some good guys and girls I thought it was true. I was wrong and after he forwarded me this guy at that bank(lie) I ended up sending more than $15,000 after about 5 months of sending for this ‘reason and that’. I’m a fool for falling for it and will forever regret.

Same f***king shit happen to me a person named Dr.Billy Moore Person in Contact is the person i have making the process to me right now, he ask me to send the payment of $330 to pay the western union delivery of my ATM VISA CARD that a person i new in Facebook named Mrs. Happiness Wilson leave for me in the BANK OF DAKAR SENEGAL for a help she receive from me in a process, the things is that i have already make the payment and now he is asking me for more to ensure my ATM VISA CARD to enable it so i can extract money from any cash machine in my country. God dame fucking fool i am. What do you guys think about that?

i too just a few days ago got an email that some lady nemed theresa has left some money for me..not some but thousands pf dollars..and now they are asking me to send them 450$.this is all shit.I told them to take 450$ from my money and send rest to me but they so no.so it is scam

Many months and thousands of dollars I’ve been sending to Dakar Senegal, first to a priest, then to a UBA employee, I just got the ATM Africard and have no 4 digit code for the ATM to get the $150,000 that was left for me by a girl I met, when I was there many years ago, which I was and I did, so I fell for it. I’m waiting till Monday to get an email from her about this pass code. I just saw this website and read all the stories and I think I’ve just hit rock-bottom.

Hello Tyler,
Are you able to tell me the Priest’s name as I have also been taken by a Reverend Paul Johnson in Dakar to send $680 for the DHL to send the card, stupedly I sent it but regret it now. His accomplice is a lady called Kate Denis, they push you to pay! The UBA ATM card I have here came with no pin, the so called bank emailed me to pay an Activation fee of $3400, wow I have not got that sort of money and will not be sending it, this card is supposed to have $400,000 on it well one wonders if it holds even $10 what a fool I was! Tyler I certainly would like to know the name of your Reverend that was in touch with you. Been well scammed!!!

She had said that $400,000 was put into an account for me and an ATM Visa card would be sent to me once I had paid $680 for the DHL! Scammed badly!!!

This is very serious scams , it seems that some people wants to get finance from others while they didn’t sweat for it, on this this month of February I received the same message as I read this one concerning the matter, you know I am from Namibia, I send them my information and after they replied me that I should send them 160 US$ for the ATM visa card similar to the information I read, my question is that is this person Mrs Mary Benjamin working in the UBA bank of Senegal Dakar or not but I never send them money I am still investigating them. Thanks to hear for the information.

My name is Dr Alam Zeb from Pakistan the UBA (united bank of Africa Senegal ) Dakar issue me ATM vasa card now the corrier company Dhl send me an email to send us $ 2020 two thausend dollars for delivery to your country.I am wary what I do.

I got scammed from the so called UBA for at least $17,000 for the past year I fell for it. Over and over again the guy said “oh sorry that didn’t work, I need $5000 for insurance on the $186,000 waiting for you, but we need the money first” after I sent that much there would be something else I had to pay for. I fell for it time and time again. I feel like an idiot and am gullible for these scams.

Waaah this is happening to mW now some one is saying that they left me $300,000 and it’s with the manager bank of africa Senegal and i haven’t relied them they sent me a message that it’s from bank of africa Senegal general manager Mr Fred

The Will No Know Peace In Their Life, Ameen

These stupid scamers I had sent to them my names my address my bank account but I hav been requested to send to them 350$ which I have not yet been sent .And I don’t know if they can access my account and still my money.

I caught on a little too late .. I did not send any money but only copies of my photo ID cards and address . When i told them that i did a background investigation on them ,and that Agents would trace them very soon, they never contacted me again.

I was reading this artical and for the last couple months I have been getting emails from someone claiming to be with the bank of Africa and someone that I actually did know has left me $300k and they sent me a Uba Afircard that looks just like the card on the web site. They have informed me that in order to activate the card and get access to the money I need to send them $350 activation fee and within 12 hrs of they receiving the card the $300k will be put on the card and ready to use at any ATM up to $10k per day. After reading ng this article how can I verify this is fake or real. As I said I did no the person who’s name they said left me the money although only online. Can anyone tell me more. Thanks in advance

It is most definitely a Nigerian 419 Internet upfront payment scam. Do not send them any money. The even construct fake accounts for you on the Internet making it look like there is a helluva lot of money in that bank account – all available to you.

Hello Tom,
This is definately a scam do not get taken in, I was but luckily have realised now with all the emails that it is a scam, they are very switched on with conning us and will play with our minds with thousands of dollars to attract us. Good luck but seriously cut them off!!!
